"normal"

Who am I? That's a great question, and I thank you for asking it. Some would call me a hero, because I am so courageous as a person who is blind. "Wow, you can cross the street without seeing what color the light is," they will tell me. "You can ride the bus? How do you know what stop to get off at?" These are good questions, and I encourage the public to keep on asking them.
This is because asking questions helps to erase misconceptions that people have.
Who am I? Some pity me, and feel soooo bad for me. "You can't see? I am so sorry, life must be hard for you." Well, it sure isn't easy, but it is just my eyes! "How do you dress yourself? That must be impossible."
Who am I? I am normal! I won't get into the specifics of what normal means, but let it suffice to say that I am just like you, with one small exception: I can't see. That's about it.
Ok, that's all for today, it's a rainy day and I have to go to work, so I am trying to feel positive. Have a great day! Dan

normal is what the masses are. if everyone was blind and only a few could see, then seeing would be abnormal...

Most people are 1000 times blinder in comparing your abstract, mental and social skills with that of the mass public. GAME 7 anyone?
